Last week I discovered and remedied a problem on one of my disks.
It was causing the machine to crash right after the title screen on
every single warm boot after booting that particular disk.
Twas a very strange occurrance, and it seemed to be something quite
independant of the PRODOS system file itself.
Very strange that the boot code would alter the warm-boot reset vector
this way....

I didn't go bug-chasing; I just formatted a new disk and did a file-by-file transfer of all the files on the original. -- Avery Ray Colter Internet: avery@netcom.uucp | {apple|claris}!netcom!avery o/~ Mama, mama, mama, keep those skinny girls at home, o/~ `Cause this skinny boy wants a BIG FAT BLONDE! - The Rainmakers
